“Wenxin is super friendly, a total dog lover (she has two rescue dogs who are very friendly and cheerful), and took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent very detailed, fun to read daily reports that chronicled every activity they did indoor and outdoor. Best dog sitter that you can find - no question!”
“Ashish was great. Good communication and very accommodating. Our dog had fun with a few other dogs about his size. It was a good experience overall. Definitely would do a repeat.”
“You can tell that Julie and Adam are dog lovers. They made our nervous dog feel comfortable and secure while we were out of town. He got to go on lots of outings and walks and had companionship while they worked from home. We would definitely reach out to them when we need dog care in the future.”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“Such a great first dog sitting experience. Jonathan has such a calm and loving personality he was a perfect 4th of July dog sitter for my pup who can really struggle with fireworks. Very attentive sent photos daily of walks I will definitely reach out again and hope he is available”
“I can tell Sybil had a great time because when it was time to go she curled up in Maria's lap and didn't want to leave 😅. Maria clearly has a way with dogs and my pup had a great time playing with her son as well. Thanks Maria!”
“Yesica was phenomenal with our 3 year old Bernedoodle. She was attentive, responsible, caring and overall gave so much love to our little pup. When I dropped off our dog, she instantly felt connected to Yesica and comfortable in her home. Yesica also did a great job keeping us posted on how our pup was doing. With texts and photos, we never had a doubt that our dog was well cared for. I will definitely be booking with Yesica again!”
“Deborah was terrific! She is gentle, calm, and clearly knows how to take care of cats. She was highly communicative, timely, etc. It was so reassuring to have my 2 cats in her care.”
“Ana G and her love & care for our fur baby was exceptional ❤️ I will definitely refer her and keep her for our dog coverage care, not to mention, as much as she hated to see our pup go. I think pup didn't want to leave. She a real 5 star 🌟”
“I couldn’t ask for a better boarding ! Lana and her family is great ! My puppy was sad to leave ! She kept me updated and sent me nice pics showing me how much fun my puppy was having ! I can’t wait to book with Kaja again !”
“Leaving my girl with strangers isn't easy for me, so finding someone like Kiarash was a blessing for myself as well as Storm. He is really a pet friendly person that provides a place for them to feel comfortable and welcome. After dropping off Storm he was already sending me a dozen photos / vids of Storm meeting the other dogs and exploring the house / out on a walk. I wouldn't hesitate to call on Kiarash if I'm back in the area visiting my daughter and am in need of a Rover.”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Kate! Kate sent daily pictures and updates, so we never had to worry about how our pup was doing; we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in such caring hands. Kate's own dog, Rootie, is the sweetest thing, adorable, and so well-behaved, which says a lot about the loving environment she provides. It's clear that dogs are happy and comfortable in her care. We're so glad we got to meet Kate and sweet Rootie, and we'll definitely be knocking on their door again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”
“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”
“Michael has watched our pup, Stella, a number of times now. She is always well-taken-care of with Michael. He takes her on multiple walks per day and makes sure she gets plenty of outside time. She and his pup get along well, so it is nice for her to have a dog playmate too. Michael sends photos and updates throughout the stay, which is great for when we are missing her. We would recommend Michael to anyone needing someone to care for their pet.”
“Cassy and Kizemt were awesome! We had difficulties with our previous dog sitter, so were a little skittish leaving Merrick to go on vacation for over a week. Cassy met with us ahead of time so that we could get to know her and her pup. During our trip, Cassy sent us regular photos and videos of Merrick having a blast on hikes and adventures--he definitely got a little vacay, too! She even gave him a bath before we picked him up. Everything about the sitting was fantastic. Cassy is incredibly friendly and easy to be in contact with. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Radha was welcoming and I could tell my dog was very comfortable in her home. Her beautiful backyard is a dog paradise. Radha sent be photos during the stay to let me know all was well. Recommend highly!!!”

About: I volunteer at a dog shelter which has improved my skills in dog walking and understanding dog behavior. I have been taking care of dogs for neighbors, friends and family since I was 12. I walk dogs daily, prepare meals, play with them, and give medication, if needed. Hi. My name is Yesica. I just finished my first year at university, so I am currently on summer vacation. My schedule is open and flexible so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets throughout the week. I am also available for housing on weekends and holidays. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, stress-free and safe. In my house in particular I have a doggy door that I can open and close to make potty breaks and play time outside easily accessible. In both my house and a client’s home, I make sure to keep the environment clean and secure for the animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the owner’s instructions, and I provide updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Thank you Cyndi for taking care of Jack and Guiness and sending us the pictures, it gave us a lot of piece of mind knowing that Cyndi was taking care of our 2 cats! I can highly recommend Cyndi”
“Maryann’s calm, kind, funny and friendly attitude made us feel comfortable right away! We were grateful to have her cat & house sit for us while we were gone for a week. She took great care of our kitten, intuited his preferences & attitude super quickly, and even discovered some of his favorite games that we hadn’t told her about (Chase and Blanket Goblin). It was easy to tell from the daily photo updates she sent that Ivan (the aforementioned goblin) liked her very much. 😸 Highly recommend!”
“Priscilla was attentive and communicative! She helped provide care for my kitties and my rabbit pretty last minute and I felt very comfortable after our meet and greet. She did not hesitate to reach out with any questions so she could provide the best care and sent plenty of photo updates. After her first few drop ins she clearly had a good system down! My pets were happy and healthy when I got home after a few days so I know they had a great time with her.”
“Cynthia deeply cares for cats and took amazing care of my cat Charlie who has moved a lot in the past 2 weeks so it was really important we have an amazing sitter! Very grateful I got in with cynthia, I know she’s super popular on rover (for good reason!)”
About: Two for one! My partner and I take an active role in your pet's overall wellness. We like to think we can be there for your loved fur-one when you need to go out of town or simply need a small break from your day-to-day routines. We are a family of fur-lovers and have a couple of years experience caring for dogs of all sizes and special needs. We are big fans of the outdoors and see your pet as our motivation to get up and move! But, we also are huge couch potatoes and will spoil your dog rotten at home with endless amount of snuggles and treats (all depending on your dogs overall needs). I work from home while my partner tends to have a more spontaneous schedule (entrepreneur life) - so we are very accommodating to majority schedules, week days and weekends. We usually keep dogs on the leash at all times unless owner specific requests not too. Once we’ve established a good relationship with them, we’ll usually take them to the dog park at let them have a bit of fun.
“Carrie was fantastic!! I was in the throes of moving my mom into an assisted living whilst at the same time living abroad. She took care of both cats and helped me with sorting out the post and other really essential tasks. Thank you Carrie!!!”
“Our cat is very shy and cat sitters barely see him when doing check-ins. Somehow Rebecca gained his trust on the second day and he was comfortable being approached and pet. It made us feel better being away knowing that our cat wasn’t hiding the whole time we were gone. I’d definitely reach out to Rebecca again in the future.”
About: With a profound love for cats cultivated through owning two of my own and rescuing one at just four weeks old, I offer attentive and compassionate care that sets me apart. My background includes working in shelters and caring for elderly cats, equipping me with the skills to administer medications and ensure meticulous litter box hygiene. Your feline friends are not just in good hands but in the care of someone who understands and cherishes them deeply.
About: I truly love cats and have two of my own. One was rescued from the street, and his name is Macchiato. The other was adopted from a shelter, and her name is Truffle. I also have experience caring for other cats and often help my friends take care of their cats. I’m patient and responsible, and I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, ages, and care needs. Over the years, I have worked with friendly cats, shy cats, senior cats, and cats requiring medication support and specialized care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and respecting each cat’s environment. Whether a cat needs medication, support with subcutaneous fluids, extra patience during stressful situations, or simply a calm and reliable caregiver while their family is away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I enjoy working as a team with pet owners to support their cat’s well-being, comfort, and quality of life while providing thoughtful observation, communication, and individualized care.

“Ashish was great! We did a Meet and Greet a few days before so Penny could meet Andy. We met Andy and Ashish’s son - both were so sweet 🥰😍 I would definitely recommend his services for doggie daycare. He sent pics and Penny seemed to enjoy herself in his lovely backyard - it was a nice sunny day.”

“Christiano is great with our dog. He is such a nice guy and you can tell he really cares about animals. We feel comfortable leaving our boy with him and know he's in good hands. It's really nice to have someone we can rely on when we need a dog sitter. He even was able to take our dog last minute/day of when we needed someone. Our dog also has some specific needs and Christiano is always accommodating. Definitely recommend him and his team!”

About: Hi! We are Angelina and Xavior & we are here to be your fur baby’s new favorite sitter! We joined Rover in 2018 & have met so many amazing fur babies & pet parents! I (Angelina) have been taking care of different animals since I was about 9 years old, however as of 5 years ago I’ve started to work with pets in a more professional setting. I started at a doggie daycare, until moved to a training & boarding kennel. The owner also did have a dog rescue as well. There I worked with one of the best dog trainers in Northern Virginia for almost 2 years & learned a lot not only about dog training but also working with rescue pups & how it sometimes can be a bit different! After that I worked at an SPCA location with rescue pups & kitties! We relocated to Atlanta for a while where we continued to do Rover & I also worked at another doggie daycare/kennel/rescue hybrid! Aside from this I do also have a dog training certification as well as a grooming certification. We both have experience with a variety of animals including but not limited to dogs,cats,cows,goats,horses,reptiles,birds,rodents,etc. We hope this gives you a bit more Insight on us both & we can’t wait to hear from you! I recently made the decision to work on rover full-time as I love being able to provide at-home care for your fur babies that cannot board in a kennel-like-environment. Pet care will always fit in perfectly to my routine! We will always follow your pet’s typical routine unless otherwise requested. We know how stressful it can be for both the pet & pet parent, which is why your baby is always our top priority. Whether it is a drop-in, quick walk, or month long stay we make sure to give your baby lots of love while their you are away! We have a dog who is quite the social butterfly! If your baby also loves to make friends she would be a great addition to keeping us company!
“Kelly was wonderful with my pup Mochi, and easy to communicate with. I just got Mochi (a rescue) a couple of weeks ago so I was nervous about leaving him for the day but Kelly was very reassuring and Mochi had a great time!”
About: My wife and I have a chihuahua/mini-pincher mix. We also work with a local adoption agency and have fostered 6 dogs. We love spending time walking, training and nurturing dogs. We are also a go-to family for our close friends that need dog sitting care. What sets me apart is my commitment to personalized, high-quality care that prioritizes your dog’s emotional and physical well-being above all else. Whether you have a high-energy puppy requiring consistent house training and socialization or a senior dog needing gentle mobility assistance and medication administration, I have the specialized skills to meet their unique needs. Beyond the basics of walking and feeding, I provide daily photo updates and structured mental stimulation to ensure your pet feels secure, loved, and engaged until you return home. I work part time, so I have plenty of time to watch and care for your dogs. If I'm not available, my wife Andrea will fulfill all the necessary requirements that will keep your dog feeling loved, nurtured and safe. We have several crates if your dog is in need of one. We have a fenced in yard with a plenty of room for exercise. We also have a chihuahua/mini-pincher mix that is dog friendly and will provide company to your dog if needed.
About: Your pet is in good hands. I'm an owner of a rambunctious two year old Bernedoodle named Sunny. I helped take care of my disabled neighbors dog for 2-3 years as a teen before before becoming a dog owner of my own. I can offer walks tailored to your dogs energy whether that be a brisk neighborhood stroll & playtime or a calm sniff & relaxed walk. I can help with training puppies and administer medication. You'll receive reliable, safe and fun care with regular photo updates! I'm available everyday 8 am to 10 pm. If I am doing overnight then I'm available for around the clock care. I'm flexible as I committing to animal care full time. I have a large backyard with grass that is fenced in. We live in a safe quiet neighborhood with not a lot of traffic. I have all the items your dogs needs (toys, a crate and even food if needed). Our dog Sunny is friendly and playful with other dogs.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth and have spent my whole life building a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Growing up, my family raised two litters of puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to socialization and training throughout various life stages. I currently share my home with three dogs of my own and regularly care for friends' cats and dogs, both in my home and theirs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds, and know that each comes with its own personality, energy level, and needs. People tell me I'm not just a dog person but also someone dogs are drawn to. Cats have been a constant in my life just as long as dogs have. I know how to read their cues, respect their space, and earn their trust on their own terms. I genuinely love every stage of a pet's life and know how to meet each animal where they are, whether that's an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior. I’ve worked in human crisis intervention for over 6 years, which means I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly and clearly when something unexpected happens. That same steady, caring approach is what I bring to every pet I look after. I do Rover to supplement my nonprofit career, so when I take on your pet it's because I genuinely want to be here, not because I have to be. Your pet won't just be cared for, they'll feel right at home! I work from home on a flexible schedule that I set myself, which means I'm present with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time and can separate pets as needed, so your animal has a safe, comfortable space even with my own dogs in the home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet like they're my own. My home is pet-proofed with a fenced yard, and I can separate animals as needed so everyone has their own safe space alongside my own dogs. I always want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and preferences ahead of time so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, I'm confident handling whatever comes up, and my crisis intervention background means I stay calm and act fast if an emergency arises.

About: Hi! My name is Farhan. My profile might be newer but I have lots of personal experience with very different and demanding dogs. My first dog I’ve ever had was a Great Dane, a gentle giant who came with the classic challenge of leash pulling. Learning to walk and train a strong willed mini horse taught me the patience and proper leash training that I can apply to any dog I walk. My French Bulldog also came with her own set of challenges, and has helped me become well versed in managing food allergies and breathing sensitivities that frenchies are known for. I know how to see if something is off and how to keep a medically sensitive dog safe and comfortable. Additionally, I’ve spent time with senior dogs, cats, and horses, so I understand different types of care that animals need. The best time for walks would be anywhere from 11am - 8pm. For drop in visits and house sitting message me and I will be able to cater to your schedule. I live with two dogs who are very friendly with other dogs. I have two gates set up in case they need to be separate.
About: Hi! My name is Marcya and I have a furbaby of my own: a 90lb Pitbull mix named Blue. I have 7 years of experience with high energy dogs, reactive dogs, strategic dog walking and training.

Depending on my work schedule I am sometimes available during the week I keep pet parents updated with pictures and videos of their furbabies. I think including playtime and mental stimulation are also important. My main priority will be your peace of mind, your dogs safety, and happiness.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals through work at various animal shelters, where I helped care for them.

Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily routine with a flexible schedule, ensuring pets receive the attention and love they deserve every single day.

With careful attention to detail, I ensure that surroundings are pet-proofed, hazards are minimized, and any specific needs or preferences are addressed.

“I was really happy to have Autumn as a dog walker. We have a very energetic dog and somehow she managed to have her walking nicely for an hour each time and took wonderful pictures. I didn't have to worry about my dog getting her exercise during these days that I couldn't get to her. Autumn was always very sweet and friendly and accommodating. I would never hesitate to use her again. My dog would even go to the door and whimper when she left!”

During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence.

“I can tell Sybil had a great time because when it was time to go she curled up in Maria's lap and didn't want to leave 😅. Maria clearly has a way with dogs and my pup had a great time playing with her son as well. Thanks Maria!”
“I couldn’t ask for a better boarding ! Lana and her family is great ! My puppy was sad to leave ! She kept me updated and sent me nice pics showing me how much fun my puppy was having ! I can’t wait to book with Kaja again !”
“Leaving my girl with strangers isn't easy for me, so finding someone like Kiarash was a blessing for myself as well as Storm. He is really a pet friendly person that provides a place for them to feel comfortable and welcome. After dropping off Storm he was already sending me a dozen photos / vids of Storm meeting the other dogs and exploring the house / out on a walk. I wouldn't hesitate to call on Kiarash if I'm back in the area visiting my daughter and am in need of a Rover.”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Kate! Kate sent daily pictures and updates, so we never had to worry about how our pup was doing; we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in such caring hands. Kate's own dog, Rootie, is the sweetest thing, adorable, and so well-behaved, which says a lot about the loving environment she provides. It's clear that dogs are happy and comfortable in her care. We're so glad we got to meet Kate and sweet Rootie, and we'll definitely be knocking on their door again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”
“Michael has watched our pup, Stella, a number of times now. She is always well-taken-care of with Michael. He takes her on multiple walks per day and makes sure she gets plenty of outside time. She and his pup get along well, so it is nice for her to have a dog playmate too. Michael sends photos and updates throughout the stay, which is great for when we are missing her. We would recommend Michael to anyone needing someone to care for their pet.”
“Radha was welcoming and I could tell my dog was very comfortable in her home. Her beautiful backyard is a dog paradise. Radha sent be photos during the stay to let me know all was well. Recommend highly!!!”
“Kim was so wonderful with our sweet pup, Teddy. She sent pics each day and took him to the park regularly with her sweet dog. Teddy seemed to have a great time and came home a happy pup!”
“Miumie was excellent! She went above and beyond taking care of Nanako, preparing a comfortable space in her home and even buying Nanako some toys! Miumie took the cutest pictures and videos of our puppy and shared them multiple times a day. She took Nanako on fun outdoors adventures and was prepared to handle the extra challenges that come with caring for a young puppy. Pickup and drop off were on time and convenient for our travel schedules!”
“Christine went above and beyond to take great care of our dog! Buca had a great time and came home happy and healthy after staying with Christine. We will definitely be reaching out again for future visits.”
“Te’Arie was great with our maltipoo pup, who can be a bit on the nervous side when first meeting people and other dogs/cats. She knew just what to do to make her feel comfortable during her weekend stay and I loved how she kept me posted on their outings (walks and nearby beach) and shared pics. You can tell Te’Arie has experience working with different personalities and is also just a really warm, caring person. Would definitely book with Te’Arie again and highly recommend!”
“What a wonderful and caring boarding experience! I could tell that she truly cared for my dog and shared many sweet anecdotes during my pet’s stay at her house. I know she was in good and loving hands. I will definitely use this sitter again if needed!”
“Luciana and Rob genuinely love pups, specifically pitties, and it’s such a relief to leave my girl with people who will treat her like family. They are super understanding and experienced with reactivity. Would love to work with them again!”
About: I've worked my entire 30+ year career taking care of people and their animals. I've five years in private in-home care for seniors, eight years in childcare, and over 10 years caring for the pets of my friends, family, and relations thereof. Cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and even a pair of ferrets! I'm pretty good at connecting and animals tend to read that. I'm all about healthy treats, balanced food options, great nutrition, and appropriate exercise; and as a former chef and caregiver, I love cooking for pets too! While I don't currently have any pets of my own, I'm also happy to just chill out with your pet for anxiety reducing calm and comfort. Need someone to be attentive and sensitive to your pet's needs? I'm your Girl! I'm currently working remotely, part-time Tuesday through Thursday. My work is pretty flexible and I can take it with me wherever I go, though I do require notice so I can prepare and make adjustments if needed. I'm open to negotiating outside of calendar hours listed. Just reach out and ask! If I'm unable to make it work, I'll let you know. I'm a fun-loving soul that, simply, adores animals! I'm happy to care for your pup or meowser at your East Bay home. I can stay or stop by to play, spend quality time, or just water, feed, and walk your furry friend if that's what you need. While I haven't any formal medical training for pets, I'm detail oriented and good with instructions. I'm here to help out, so if you have any questions about special needs, just ask.
About: Hi! I’m Ning, an experienced dog owner and lifelong animal lover based in Berkeley. I currently have a sweet, friendly 1-year-old Australian Shepherd and have raised both a Samoyed and an Aussie from puppyhood. Through daily training, socialization, exercise, grooming, and routine care, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with energetic working breeds and understand the importance of both physical activity and mental enrichment. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured environment where dogs can feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, eating habits, and emotional well-being, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Your dog will stay in a clean and spacious pet-friendly apartment with access to a secure fenced courtyard. We are also only a 5-minute walk from a large open green space, allowing for regular walks, outdoor time, and supervised play. For social dogs, my friendly Aussie can be a wonderful companion during their stay. I work hard to make every boarding experience stress-free and enjoyable. Dogs receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day, and I do not leave pets alone for extended periods whenever possible. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected and have peace of mind while you’re away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide not just boarding, but a safe and caring second home where they can feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent supervision, companionship, and exercise throughout the day. Pet care is already a central part of my daily routine, as I currently care for my own young Australian Shepherd, with my current walking schedule: four times a day (~6 hours interval). Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a secure fenced courtyard and easy access to a large green space just a 5-minute walk away. I currently have a friendly, well-socialized 1-year-old Australian Shepherd who enjoys meeting other dogs. I carefully monitor all interactions, follow owners’ instructions closely, and maintain a calm, structured environment. I have experience raising both a Samoyed and an Australian Shepherd from puppyhood, so I understand the importance of supervision, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
